Katz’s campaign money report…..tardy

Marc Katz has yet to file his campaign finance report that was due on Monday.

The flamboyant Austin restaurant owner is seeking the Democratic nomination for lieutenant governor and is running in the March 2 primary field with retired Travis County district attorney Ronnie Earle and retired AFL-CIO executive vice president Linda Chavez-Thompson.

Earle reported contributions of $14,076 on his report required to be filed 30 days before the election. Most of that – $11,371 – came from the Texas Democratic Party.

Chavez-Thompson, running for statewide office for the first time, raised $19,250 since announcing her candidacy on Jan. 4. Most of that – $17,000 – came from two labor unions.

Katz reported raising $6,950 on his first campaign report, of which $5,200 came from himself.
